Podcasts about Be Well

On the surface, what the wellness industry is offering feels like an antidote to our fragmented and fast-paced lives. Influencers and companies use words like "mindfulness" or “whole foods” or “self care” to get our stressed out, burnt out buy in. But, somewhere along the line those promises start to morph into luxury services, expensive memberships and supplements you never knew you needed. In her book “How to Be Well” former fashion journalist Amy Larocca explores the blurred line between healing and branding in a $6 trillion dollar industry.We discuss:Why our current wellness craze mirrors 1930s pre-Nazi GermanyHow Abraham Flexner completely changed how we teach medicine in the US for better – and for worseWhy the spiritual and community void left by declining religious participation leads people to look to the wellness industry for bothAmy says what attracts people to the modern fitness class has parallels to religious practices:“So if you look at what happens in ritual religious gatherings… You see a lot of that replicated in a lot of these boutique fitness settings. You have ritual, you have music, you have ecstatic movement, you have charismatic leaders, you have a sermon. And these sermons have increasingly moved away from talk of muffin tops and bikini bodies and losing that whatever it is, to kindness, community, thinking about your place in the world, thinking about taking the energy that you are building up in that room and spreading it forward. ”Relevant LinksBuy Amy's book “How to Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure at a Time”Read this Wikipedia page on Martine Rothblatt's robot replica of her wife BinaCheck out this article on the impact of the Flexner report on US medicineRead the book “McMindfulness” Amy mentions in the episodeSign up for Lamar's SoulCycle classAbout Our GuestAmy Larocca is an award-winning American journalist.

In this truth-bomb-filled episode, I sit down with leadership engagement expert and founder of Take New Ground, Adrian Koehler. Known for his bold mix of tough love and deep compassion, Adrian dives headfirst into the raw truth about what makes leaders effective—not just exceptional. We unpack everything from fear-based leadership and the hidden costs of people-pleasing to building team cultures rooted in truth and commitment (not performance and politics). Adrian also challenges us to question our stories, face our fear, and stop hiding behind comfort and approval. If you're a Christian woman in leadership who's tired of over-functioning, burnout, or leading from a place of fear—this one will shake you up (in the best way). What We Cover: Why effectiveness matters more than being “exceptional” The myth of being “stuck” and how we keep ourselves there How fear is not the enemy—it's an invitation Why most leaders avoid hard conversations and what it costs them The connection between courage, faith, and taking meaningful risks How team culture must be built on commitment, not just competency What Jesus modeled about approval, courage, and disruption Resources Mentioned: TakeNewGround.com Adrian's Instagram: @adrian.k Public Trainings: The Revenant Process and Intrepid Leadership Training   I hope this episode blesses you!

In this episode, we're confronting a trap that many high-capacity Christian women leaders fall into — leading from performance instead of presence.

We explore how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fear of being misunderstood drive us to perform rather than lead authentically.

Ever wonder why toxic wellness culture has us dropping $80 on serums that don't work while wellness scams rake in billions targeting women who just want to feel better? I used to be that girl—clutching my overpriced celery juice, convinced the next biohacking trend would finally "fix" me, completely oblivious to how the wellness industry profits off our deepest insecurities. What if I told you that aging is not a disease to be cured, and that trillion-dollar industry built on essential oil wellness promises is actually designed to keep you coming back for more? Amy Larocca, award-winning journalist and author of "How to Be Well," is here to blow the lid off why wellness retreats feel like cults and how MLM schemes disguised as self-care are preying on our desire to belong.In today's episode, Amy and I dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about how the wellness industry specifically targets women, turning our natural desire for health and connection into profit margins. We're talking about everything from the psychology behind wellness scams to why "optimizing" ourselves has become another form of perfectionism that's keeping us stuck. If you've ever side-eyed your collagen gummies or wondered why that expensive retreat left you feeling more confused than transformed, this conversation is going to hit different.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why toxic wellness culture specifically targets women and how to spot the manipulation tactics before you fall for themThe real reason wellness scams are a $3.7 trillion industry—and it's not because the products actually workHow wellness retreats use cult-like psychology to make you feel like you belong (while emptying your wallet)Why MLM schemes disguised as essential oil wellness are preying on women's desire for community and financial freedomThe uncomfortable truth about biohacking trends and whether any of these "optimization" methods are actually helping youHow the wellness industry profits by convincing us that aging is a disease that needs expensive, complicated solutionsWhat Amy Larocca discovered during her deep dive into wellness communities—and why debunking doesn't workThe difference between actual health practices and commodified self-care that keeps you buying but never "fixed"This conversation with Amy hit me right in the gut because honestly, I've been that woman throwing money at wellness promises, hoping the next thing would finally make me feel "optimized." The truth is, we're all craving something real to believe in—but maybe what we're actually looking for isn't found in a $200 supplement or exclusive retreat. What if the real wellness revolution is learning to trust our own bodies and stop outsourcing our intuition to people who profit from our insecurities?

Juneteenth is often celebrated with cookouts, music, and joy—but beneath the surface lies a powerful question: What does it truly mean to be free?In this reflective solo episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar explores the emotional, spiritual, and generational layers of freedom through the lens of Juneteenth and the thought-provoking film Sinners. From the delayed emancipation of enslaved people in Texas to the present-day pursuit of Black liberation, this conversation invites listeners to look inward.What does freedom feel like in your body? In your relationships? In your rest?Through storytelling, cultural critique, and heartfelt reflection, Cassandre challenges us to redefine freedom on our own terms—and to embrace Black joy not as a luxury, but as a birthright and a radical act of resistance.Key Takeaways:Juneteenth is not just a celebration—it's a call to reflect on what freedom really means.Black joy is resistance. Black rest is revolution.Cultural freedom begins with personal healing.You deserve joy that isn't rooted in struggle or survival.Freedom is a practice—one that requires care, community, and conscious choice.Sign up to my summer of joy journey through my substack hereConnect with me on socials- join the Be Well,Sis tribe on Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube , and subscribe to the newsletter or buy me a coffee!If this episode resonated with you- share with a friend!-We're supporting St Jude's- head over to www.stjude.org/bewellsis right now and sign up to be a monthly donor.

Send us a textWhat if technology could help you understand and manage your emotions better? Dr. Alicia Mckoy, founder and CEO of PeakMind, takes us on a fascinating journey through the intersection of neuroscience, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence in the quest for better mental wellbeing.The human brain processes emotions through chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline, triggering our fight, flight, freeze, or relaxation responses. Understanding this complex system is crucial for managing our emotional states effectively. With stress contributing to 60-80% of disease according to health organizations, Dr. Mckoy's work couldn't be more timely. She introduces us to concepts like ultradian rhythms—natural 90-minute cycles when our brains are optimally prepared for focus and learning—and explains how traditional school and work schedules often conflict with these natural patterns. Schools that have restructured around these rhythms have seen remarkable improvements in student performance.Perhaps most exciting is Dr. Mckoy's pioneering work with virtual reality therapy. This "rehearsal therapy" allows people to practice stressful situations or experience calming environments while measuring biometric responses. The emergence of "VRX" (virtual reality prescriptions) represents a groundbreaking shift in healthcare, with doctors now prescribing VR experiences alongside or instead of traditional medications.For those without access to advanced technology, Dr. Mckoy offers practical strategies anyone can implement: identifying your main stressors, noting where you feel stress physically, developing advance response plans, and prioritizing quality sleep.Sign up for the weekly newsletter here to get up to date news on AI for Kids: https://aidigitales.com/newsletterResourcesHer books:Be Well at WorkCreating a New Culture for your WorkplaceCDC – Coping with Stress Learn about healthy ways to manage stress for kids and adults.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.Buy our new book "Let Kids Be Kids, Not Robots!: Embracing Childhood in an Age of AI"Social Media & Contact: Website: www.aidigitales.com Email: contact@aidigitales.com Follow Us: Instagram, YouTube Gift or get our books on Amazon or Free AI Worksheets Listen, rate, and subscribe!

Send us a textAmanda Phillips never imagined her lifelong battle with Crohn's disease would transform into a business helping other people living with chronic illnesses. But after decades of unexplained stomach pains, missed diagnoses, and learning to navigate life with IBD, that's exactly what happened.Amanda takes us through her journey from childhood stomach aches dismissed as "just constipation" to her eventual diagnosis at 17. We explore how she learned to identify her personal flare triggers—stress and GI bugs being the major culprits—and the profound anxiety this created around situations most people take for granted, like commuting to work or being around sick family members.The pandemic became an unexpected turning point in Amanda's health journey. Working remotely eliminated the bathroom-related stress of her daily commute. When her company pushed employees back to the office, Amanda fought for accommodations, facing frustrating resistance from HR despite documentation showing remote work improved her health and performance.The birth of Be Well came during a February 2022 hospitalization, when Amanda found herself freezing in a standard hospital gown. Looking around at the medical wear available, she thought, "I can do better than this." What makes Amanda's approach unique is her commitment to meaningful design. Every Be Well product—from symptom tracking journals to discreet pill holders to comfort items with inspirational quotes—comes from lived experience and continuous customer feedback with a focus on prioritizing patient comfort, dignity, and practicality. Now she's expanding into new territory with hospital gowns, non-metal MRI hoodies, and more innovations. Whether you're living with chronic illness or supporting someone who is, this episode offers inspiration in turning personal challenges into purpose and creating solutions that truly understand patient needs.Links: Link to the BeWell websiteLink to BroGloInformation about IBD and work- Crohn's & Colitis Foundation- USAMy guest co-host, Stacey Calabro's episodeLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE In this episode, I'm speaking to the leader who's been holding it all together… for everyone. You're strong. You're capable. You've got the titles and the trust of those around you. But maybe, deep down, you're also a little tired — and a little unsure of where you fit in the midst of all the roles you carry.   Today, we're dismantling the myth that real leadership means doing it all without help. I'll walk you through how over-responsibility and isolation can sneak into leadership, not out of pride — but out of habit. And I'll offer practical, faith-centered ways to start letting others support you without losing your impact, your credibility, or your sense of self.   You'll hear what Scripture really says about supported leadership, why delegation is not weakness, and how to lead from a place of strength and surrender.   You were never meant to lead alone — and asking for help doesn't make you less strong. It makes you whole.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE In this episode, I'm speaking directly to the woman who's holding everything together on the outside… but inside, she's feeling stretched, disconnected, and quietly exhausted. You're the go-to person, the dependable one, the capable leader everyone else relies on. But somewhere along the way, you've started feeling the weight of it all — physically, emotionally, spiritually. Today, we're digging into what burnout really looks like for high-capacity Christian women — especially those of us in healthcare or leadership roles. I'll unpack how over-functioning, emotional labor, and nervous system dysregulation sneak in through the back door of our good intentions… and why they can lead to burnout even when everything looks “fine.” I'll also walk you through specific, practical ways to start leading from overflow instead of depletion — because you can be strong and still need support. You were never meant to carry leadership alone. I hope this episode blesses you!

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE In this episode, I'm diving into the second part of our leadership reset — and this one gets personal. We're talking about how things like over-functioning, people-pleasing, and perfectionism often wear the mask of “great leadership”… but underneath, they're symptoms of chronic stress and a misaligned identity. I share how these patterns have shown up in my own life, how they can keep us stuck in survival mode, and how our physical bodies — not just our minds — are affected when we lead from fear, pressure, or people's expectations. We'll look at what it means to lead from a regulated nervous system and a Spirit-aligned soul. Because here's what I believe: your influence doesn't increase when you do more — it increases when you become more whole. This is your invitation to trade hustle for health, perfection for peace, and burnout for rooted, Spirit-led leadership. I hope this episode blesses you!

Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest lies we've believed about leadership — that our value comes from how much we produce, how busy we stay, or how available we are to everyone else. If you've ever felt like your leadership is being measured by your output instead of your impact, you are not alone. I've lived it — juggling tasks, striving for approval, and believing that burnout was just the cost of leading well. But I've learned (and am still learning) that this is not God's design for leadership. In this first part of a two-part series, I'll share what it looks like to shift from hustle-driven leadership to influence-driven leadership — the kind modeled by Jesus. I'll walk you through the lies we often believe, the biblical leadership patterns we can actually follow, and practical ways to lead from presence, purpose, and peace. Let's trade productivity for presence. Let's lead from overflow instead of over-functioning. And let's remember: we don't have to prove our leadership. We just have to be aligned with the One who called us to it.   I hope this episode blesses you!
